She has worked in a range of settings, including inpatient and outpatient treatment, and has supported people managing addiction, domestic violence, and other mental health concerns.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs instead of following a strict template.
People come to her for help with sleeping problems, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns tied to chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, adoption and foster care, and other complex situations. Janet notes bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and addictions among her areas of focus.
Her style is calm and practical. She aims to make the therapy setting feel safe so people can speak honestly. Janet emphasizes small, manageable steps and skills people can try between sessions to improve sleep, reduce stress, and handle daily challenges.
Janet practices in Tennessee and conducts work in English. If someone is interested, they should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their needs.
How Janet’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Janet often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she also draws on Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing intense feelings or impulsive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, helping people feel heard and guiding the goals of therapy collaboratively.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions based on that discussion. This collaborative process can include trying strategies from different approaches to see what helps most for sleep, stress, or other concerns.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice calming techniques and sleep strategies in a familiar routine. Ask about format details when you schedule to ensure it matches your needs and schedule.
